they matter in every election, they either reinforce a narrative in the election meaning we think we're going to vote for president obama. president obama does well in that debate and it reinforces that. or it reinforces the opposite. if you're governor rom any, he did very well in the debates and i think president obama is a good debater, not a great debater, to be frank about it. but the expectations game and the reality of what he has to accomplish is he has to go out there and change minds. and he has to do it when the fact is, when this is republicans ignored. they know him. they don't like his policies. >> go ahead, joe. >> i think that chris makes a great point. the 1980, ronald reagan really changed the course of the debate and helped himself by saying to americans, think back, are you better off today than you were four years ago, is it easier to get a job, are there fewer of you that are unemployed and by getting the american folks to concentrate on that as opposed to how much they like president carter really helped. >> that's a variation of the question that the romney campa

the question politically, is is it going to matter in the election? that's why the sampling of undecided voters matters. and i would say that those findings are significant if there are a lot of ub decided voters. -- undecided voter. we know that these debates tend to reenforce preferences. a lot of people have already made up their mind. did anybody's minds get changed? my guess is not in this case. the nod goes to governor romney, but i don't know if it's going to change the election just yet. >> reporter: you talked about body language. we know that romney has done 19 debates in the past year: the president not had had one for four years. >> and he's had practice. but in this instance , the president i think forgot something he learned before. when you're showing a split screen, you don't want to be looking down, you don't want to be looking as if you're jump barely tolerating having to put up with them there. and that was the visual coming across a lot of times. it tends to reenforce the idea that is false, but visually comes across that romney wa

>> the president's hope for re-election, he is preparing for the debate in henderson, nevada, outside las vegas. and he made a surprise visit monday to a local campaign office and also called several volunteers on the phone to say thank you for helping his re-election effort. >> everything you do ends up making a huge difference in us being able to win nevada and win the election. so, just keep it up. >> nancy cordes is in henderson, covering the obama campaign. good morning. >> reporter: norah, good morning. while the president does his homework, the obama campaign team is working hard itself to trying to lower expectations for the president's performance. white house press corps was chuckling yesterday when they tried to argue that the president's tendency toward answers may be a liability in a debate where candidates are expected to be succinct. they're also arguing that the president hasn't had as much time to prepare for this debate as governor romney. we don't know exactly how much less time he has had, because the campaign doesn't tell us how much time he spends practicing. the
